《How It Feels》歌词

[00:00:04] When I grow up I＇ma be a superstar

[00:00:07] Ah-ha alright baby

[00:00:10] They don＇t know how it feels

[00:00:16] （When you＇re out on your own yeah）

[00:00:19] （And you＇re lookin for that home）

[00:00:20] They don＇t know what it is

[00:00:26] （When the world＇s on your shoulder）

[00:00:27] （And your baby gotta be a soldier）

[00:00:30] Yo I was born in the pro-jects with roaches and rats

[00:00:32] And our credentials were our nines and gats

[00:00:35] Stay the hell out the hood read the welcomin mats

[00:00:37] I remember them days it was hard bein black

[00:00:40] Welfare checks and government cheese

[00:00:42] Take your family in portrait everybody smile say cheese

[00:00:44] And it＇s a wonder how I kept my head from goin under

[00:00:47] Sun don＇t shine where there＇s lightning and thunder

[00:00:50] Some got ways some got means

[00:00:52] But still we all just got hopes and dreams

[00:00:54] The two blend together like d**e and fiends

[00:00:57] Cope with teens has that new gangster lean

[00:01:00] Everybody just wanna be a ghetto star

[00:01:03] Fly cribs and drivin them big cars

[00:01:05] That＇s all Mr President hear the voice of the youth

[00:01:08] I don＇t lie I speak the truth

[00:01:10] They don＇t know how it feels

[00:01:16] （When you a single mother）

[00:01:17] （And don＇t have that significant other）

[00:01:19] They don＇t know what it is

[00:01:26] （To be in the ghetto）

[00:01:27] （And your life be in slow mo＇）

[00:01:29] Uhh yeah

[00:01:30] Been around the world a couple times with the ReFugees

[00:01:32] From the boot of Italy to the land of Pawnee

[00:01:34] Fell in love a couple times on the London Bridge

[00:01:37] Fast cars fast life that＇s how I wanted to live

[00:01:40] What a crusade one of my great escapades

[00:01:42] Cut many hearts like the game of spades

[00:01:45] But nuttin was as fatal when they blew the World Trade

[00:01:47] Now we at war momma tradin lives for grenades

[00:01:50] Send in the troops here comes the brigades

[00:01:52] American resolve and our hearts＇ll never fade

[00:01:55] I know you somewhere out there chillin in the shades

[00:01:57] But I hate to be the one to rain on your parade

[00:02:00] See God is merciful and God bless his children

[00:02:02] That＇s how we gonna reconstruct them buildings

[00:02:05] So stop the killings we runnin out of graves

[00:02:07] In the land of the free and the home of the brave

[00:02:10] They don＇t know how it feels

[00:02:16] （To hear our babies cry）

[00:02:18] （And watch our mothers die）

[00:02:20] They don＇t know what it is

[00:02:26] （To see our brothers in prison）

[00:02:28] （While they losin their religion）

[00:02:29] These eyes of mines are like camera lens

[00:02:32] Loved by many but stabbed by my friends

[00:02:34] Is this the end Some may cry out loud

[00:02:37] But I won＇t worry we gonna make it now

[00:02:40] The ghetto fed up but they won＇t break us down

[00:02:43] It＇s an eye for an eye what goes around comes around

[00:02:44] Do dis for my peeps who couldn＇t speak

[00:02:48] Survival of the fittest what happens to the weak

[00:02:49] They either in between above or beneath

[00:02:52] Tryin to play me like a scrub in a passenger seat

[00:02:54] Racial profile to say the least （okay）

[00:02:58] There won＇t be no peace in the belly of the beast c＇mon

[00:03:00] But we gonna make it through baby

[00:03:03] Even though the world is so crazy

[00:03:04] And if they ask you tell ＇em it＇s pain times three

[00:03:08] Cause it＇s a million of them kids stressin just like me

[00:03:10] BABY

[00:03:10] They don＇t know how it feels

[00:03:16] （To see us go to war）

[00:03:18] （And see the people free for no more）

[00:03:19] They don＇t know what it is

[00:03:26] （To be a black man in America）

[00:03:27] （And feel like they＇re comin to get＇cha）

[00:03:31] They don＇t know how it feels

[00:03:36] （To work for minimum wage）

[00:03:39] （As your life starts to fade）

[00:03:41] They don＇t know what it is

[00:03:46] （To be down to your last buck）

[00:03:48] （And no one really gives a mother-HA）
